Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

On February 16th, the weather was sunny and windy. During this traditional Chinese New Year holiday, Toronto, which has always been cold in winter, also ushered in a rare good weather.

But there are always people who don't want to appreciate this kind of weather, such as Dwayne Casey.

As the new head coach of the Raptors who has just been in office for just half a year, Dwayne Casey is currently facing the biggest crisis of his career, because just last night, his Raptors lost by a huge score of 145-75.

The 70-point margin of victory was not only the largest margin of defeat in Raptors history, but also the largest margin of defeat in NBA history.

The holder of this embarrassing record was originally the Miami Heat. In 1991, not too far away, the Cavaliers led by Mark Price and Brad Doherty played with 12 players and scored, and 8 players scored in double figures.

, the team delivered an outstanding performance of 39 assists, defeating the Heat led by Steve Smith and Glenn Rice 148:80. The 68-point difference set a record at the time and remained so until last night.

.

Thinking about LeBron James now, the relationship between the Cavaliers and the Heat really goes back a long way.

Today, this record was finally taken away by the Raptors. I don’t know what others think. Glen Rice, who was watching TV at home, was already laughing out loud.

For Casey, this is definitely a fatal blow. After all, this kind of score is a shame for any coach. In the words of Xing Captou: This thing will affect his career!

Because of this, Cathy didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed until dawn.

But no matter how he thinks about it, he can only come to one conclusion: He doesn't blame me for this!

"My opponent is the New York Knicks, with an average winning margin of 28.5 points per game and a terrifying team that has won 27 consecutive victories in a single season! What can I do to win and what can I do to stop them? Take the lead!!

!”

Obviously, not the Raptors.

Entering February, after defeating the Bulls, who are second in the Eastern Conference, and the Celtics, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have ushered in a wave of welfare schedule. Their opponents are the Nets, Wizards, Timberwolves and the like.

Faced with wild attacks, they were unable to organize an effective counterattack and were defeated one after another.

It is self-evident what the result will be for such a team against the Knicks, who have a burst of touch, burst of confidence, and advanced tactics.

But no one expected that the Raptors would be beaten so badly in this game. Even if Zuo Li scored 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, and even if the Knicks had already scored 70 points at halftime, no one expected that they would really break through.

record.

Others did not give in too much. Thompson's outstanding performance also stimulated Ke Liu and others. How could everyone watch a rookie steal the limelight!

So the involution begins...

People exclaimed that the second 30-game winning streak in history was just around the corner!

Major media outlets have followed up with reports, and CCTV even made a special program to analyze the Knicks' future schedule and the possibility of the Knicks surpassing the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

After the game, DeRozan, who was in the same company, called Zuo Li in frustration, and Zuo Li was scratching his head because it was too cruel to win like this, not to mention that DeRozan was one of his own on the opposite side.

It's not like they didn't think about using brutal fouls to stop the Knicks, but once Beverley, Anderson and the others came on, they were more bandits than bandits. Just looking at the scene, I didn't know that the Knicks were lagging behind.

In fact, the Knicks' main force did not play a minute in the second half. In the first half, Zuo Li scored 24 points and 10 rebounds, Curry had 18 points and 4 assists, and Randolph had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, which already extended the score to 30 points.

It's enough.

Yes, the other party that caused the biggest tragedy in history was the Knicks at their peak.

But it’s really not Zuo Li’s fault!

From 22 consecutive wins to 27 consecutive wins, the Knicks have crushed them all the way, leaving their previous winning streak far behind. Now, the only thing left in front of them is the 33-game winning streak of the ancient Lakers.

No, the Knicks' previous high scores came from the Raptors. Even Bosh couldn't bear to leave, and Kobe's background of 81 points was also from the Raptors...

In the entire second half, the Raptors scored 30 points, not as many as the Knicks scored in one quarter, so this 20-year-old record was broken.

The Raptors didn't have any tough players, and DeRozan also had a soft style of play, so he was completely shocked by the Knicks.

Before arriving in Toronto, they had won 27 consecutive games, creating the second-longest winning streak in NBA history.

So the Raptors were completely depressed...

All 12 Knicks players played, and all scored, and 9 players scored in double figures. Ke Liu scored a game-high 27 points, David Lee scored 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Dragic scored 14 points and 11 assists.

Klay scored 18 points and made 5 of 9 three-pointers.

However, the Knicks' substitutes are really accurate, especially Klay Thompson, who just set a new personal scoring high. He made three three-pointers in the last 5 minutes, which is extremely efficient.

As for the 30-game winning streak…

In the first 20 games, the Raptors only won 6 games. If they keep playing like this, they will be around the corner.

As a result, the point difference grew wider and wider. When the Knicks replaced all the second lineup, the Raptors still couldn't score any points.

This is very uncomfortable!

But unfortunately, when the score difference reached 70 points, the home fans had almost left, so there were not many witnesses.

After winning this game, the Knicks' winning streak reached 28 games, only two games away from 30 consecutive wins.

But this does not affect the basketball scene here. Fans ridiculed: "It's so cruel. The Raptors can be said to be the most tragic team in history."

This also made countless experts ask the most sincere questions: "Who can stop the Knicks?!"

Although people often say that changing coaches is like changing swords, it is obvious that for today's Raptors, changing only one head coach cannot solve the fundamental problem. The team is full of rookies and lacks good players. Rookie Valanciunas has the potential

Although DeRozan, the new core player in the team, has made significant progress, it is obvious that he is not a player who can carry a team alone.

As for the Raptors, except for DeRozan's 17 points, no one scored in double figures.

But there is no other way, the jungle is the strongest, the NBA is so cruel.

The Knicks sent out 44 assists, setting a record in team history.

People looked at the two opponents after the Knicks - the Kings and Bobcats... Well, is there any suspense?

There really is!

On the night of February 16, while Casey was still making excuses for himself in front of the media, the Knicks had already flown to Sacramento to play a back-to-back game.

Before the game, Zuo Li also received a call from Cousins. On the phone, Cousins ​​begged Zuo Li to be gentle.

However, in the game, Cousins ​​was full of firepower, and he went up to the line to support the inside singles. He scored a double-double of 28 points and 14 rebounds against Zuo Li, which was his best performance against Zuo Li.

It may be that the Knicks relaxed after winning too much in the last game and were always behind in this game. If it weren't for the Kings making repeated mistakes at the last moment, Zuo Li seized the opportunity to score 10 points in a row and lead the team to overtake the score. This game said

Maybe the Knicks will overturn!
